Classical syntactic features are revisited from an algebraic perspective, recalling a traditional argument that the ± N vs. ± V distinction involves correlated, conceptually orthogonal, features, which can be represented in the algebraic format of ± 1 vs. ± i complementary elements in a vectorial space. Coupled with natural assumptions about shared information (semiotic) systems, such a space, when presumed within a labeling algorithm, allows us …

Verbs and nouns gear θ-dependencies, Case, agreement, or construal relations. Building on Chomsky’s 1974 decomposition of such categories into ±N, ±V features, by translating said features into ±1, ±i scalars that allow for the construction of a vector space, this paper studies the possibility of organizing said features into 2 × 2 square matrices. In the system proposed to explore “head-complement” relations, operating on nouns yields a measurab…
Spell‐Out and the Minimalist Program
Since Juan Uriagereka originated the multiple spell-out model in 1999 it has been one of the most influential lines of research in syntactic theorizing. The model simplified a crucial element of the minimalist account of language making it a more accurate reflection of syntax and its acquisition. This book explores important consequences of the multiple spell-out hypothesis and of the linked notion of cyclicity. It combines the latest thinking in…
The logic of parametric theories
'Parameters in minimalist theory: The case of Scandinavian' (henceforth, PMT), by Anders Holmberg, is an interesting attempt to defend the view that 'deep parameters' should be part of the grammatical system. PMT argues that parameters should be seen as points of 'underspecification', and in part as 3 rd factor effects in the sense of Chomsky (2005) - thus casting doubts on attempts to locate parametric variation in the lexicon and at the interfa…
A critique of Phase Extension, with a comparison to Phase Sliding
1. Introduction Den Dikken's paper (henceforth DD) explores an interesting alternative to Chomsky's conception of Phase Theory to account for different phenomena involving Predicate Inversion (PI). In particular, DD concentrates on cases of so-called copular, locative, and dative inversion (the respective instances in (1)): (1) a. The #1 best-seller in the country is this book. b. On the president's desk lay this book. c. I gave my students this …
Minimalism
This article provides an overview of the issues that have motivated generative grammar and the changes within the specifically Chomskian line of thinking which culminates in the Minimalist Program (MP). Some of the Minimalist considerations were central to Chomsky's approach to language from the very beginning, at a time when psychology was dominated by behaviourism and linguistic studies were the property of two schools of thought. The concept I…
On the poverty of the challenge
Positive data involving auxiliary fronting are never evidence for a constraint such as the structure-dependent hypothesis. At best, positive data of any complexity are direct evidence for a simple-minded hypothesis, of the sort of 'front the first auxiliary (after something or other)'. On the widespread assumption that negative data are generally unavailable to children learning language, a serious empiricist alternative to the rationalist view t…
Cutting Derivational Options
On The Emptiness Of `Design' Polemics
Cyclicity and Extraction Domains
This paper attempts to provide a minimalist analysis of CED effects (see Huang 1982) in terms of derivational dynamics in a cyclic system. Assuming Uriagereka's (1999) Multiple Spell-out system, we argue that CED effects arise when a syntactic object K that is required at a given derivational step has become inaccessible to the computational system at a previous derivational stage, when the chunk of structure containing K was spelled out. Assumin…
Some thoughts on economy within linguistics
One of the cornerstones of Chomsky's Minimalist Program is the role played by economy. This paper discusses different ways in which Chomsky's notion of economy in linguistics can be understood, given current views on dynamic systems and, in particular, on evolution in biological systems

A Course in GB Syntax is a new kind of linguistics textbook. It presents the fundamental concepts of the Government-Binding approach to syntax in a lecture-dialogue format that conveys the sense of a changing field, with live issues under debate.Students and professionals seeking a lucid introduction to the complexities of GB syntax will have the experience of participating in an actual course taught by a major practitioner.
